Can a car engine withstand 12 hours of continuous driving?
1 Answers
When a car is driven continuously for 12 hours, the engine operates under prolonged high-intensity conditions, causing its temperature to rise continuously. This can lead to irreversible damage to the cooling system. Once the cooling system is compromised, the engine's heat cannot be dissipated effectively, potentially causing overheating, cylinder explosion, or internal component fractures, which may result in the car breaking down. Here are some engine maintenance tips: 1. Choose the right engine oil: Always select the appropriate grade of engine oil as per the manufacturer's standards. 2. Regularly change the engine oil: Engine oil acts as a lubricant, providing lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, and wear reduction for the engine. It is often referred to as the 'lifeblood' of the engine. Failing to change the oil regularly can lead to severe wear of engine components, reducing the engine's lifespan.
